Axis Reserve What is the best way to derive maximum value out of Axis Reserve's 50k joining reward points?

[madanc7]

After the devaluation, which option is best to derive maximum value out of Axis Reserve's joining reward points? Can it be close or equal to the 50k+GST one has to pay?

Only Accor points are worth it, otherwise it's a loss of 19000 or more

Can you please explain the Accor calculations? I see a loss even here

Accor points are officially worth Rs.1.80, but everyone values them at 1 rupee.
There are 2 articles on Accor points guide, just Google them

its designed to provide 'luxury experience'.

it offers multiple memberships..

Club ITC, Club Marriott, Accor plus etc.

and it offers multiple travel benefits..

unlimited lounges, airport transfer, ed prime etc.

those 50k points never meant to equal fee paid, its combinedly with all these benefits then only you'll get more value than fee paid, not with only 50k points. IMO

OK so at 5:2 conversion, the 50k points = 20k miles = 36k accor

This is still a loss of 14k right (excl. GST) or am I doing something wrong?

so do what technofino and multiple others did
transfer the 50k points and then block the card
and keep doing this process untill you are content with the number of points you have and then close the card
